DWM - DYNAMIC WINDOW MANAGER
|
|
|
|

______________________________
|
|
|
|
|
|
dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into the
|
|
/usr/local namespace by default).
|
|
|
|
Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if
|
|
necessary as root):
|
|
,----
|
|
| make clean install
|
|
`----
|
|
|
|
|
|
Running dwm
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx:
|
|
,----
|
|
| exec dwm
|
|
`----
|
|
|
|
In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that the
|
|
DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
,----
|
|
| DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm
|
|
`----
|
|
|
|
(This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)
|
|
|
|
In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something like
|
|
this in your .xinitrc:
|
|
|
|
,----
|
|
| while xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`"
|
|
| do
|
|
| sleep 1
|
|
| done &
|
|
| exec dwm
|
|
`----
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h and
|
|
(re)compiling the source code. Refer to dwm(1) (stored in this
|
|
repository as well) to find more information.
